Reality is a consciousness hologram set in linear time to experience emotions. The brain is an electrochemical machine (computer) that process through experience. The bottom line is ... meditation ... like yoga ... creates balance in brain chemistry, especially for those who suffer from emotional problems and other challenges.

Guided Meditation is simply meditation with the help of a guide. It is one of the easiest ways to enter into a state of deep relaxation and inner stillness, and it is one of the most powerful ways to eliminate stress and bring about positive personal changes. Guided meditations can be experienced either in a class with the help of a meditation teacher, or by listening to a guided meditation recording.

Messages can be received through...

Meditation can be done with or without music, using various breathing techniques, in most environments, at any time of the day or night, alone or in a group, or enhanced during a celestial event.

When we pray we talk to the other side. When we meditate, we receive messages that can be personal or from the collective unconsciousness. As with dream projections, images received in meditation can be in black and white, color, still-frames or animated.

Interpreting the symbology of the images is the key to what your soul or a spirit in higher frequency is trying to convey. This can come easy or with frustration as any image can have multiple meanings given as archetypes. For example - seeing a baby may indicate the birth of a child or something greater, something new. One must continue the meditation to see what the baby does. A female baby often represents the move into higher frequency for human consciousness and a rebirth of the human design. Interpreting imagery is not much different than dream interpretation.

The human chakra system reacts when meditating. It is like feeling motion or a pressure in those energy centers.

Sometimes it is helpful to keep a dated journal of the messages you receive as one would with a dream journal. What makes no sense today, might be understood at a future time. The power of your meditations will increase in time.

A growing body of research supports the immediate benefits of meditation, such as reduced stress and anxiety levels, lower blood pressure, and enhanced happiness. Studies on mindfulness interventions show these effects are common in as few as eight weeks.

What Are the Types of Meditation? Live Science - April 23, 2014
The primary benefits of meditation are immediate relaxation and a better understanding of how your body, mind and spirit work together so that you can handle stressful situations. Over time, you will gain greater peace for yourself and those around you. Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years. Most meditation originated in ancient spiritual traditions. There are many types of meditation. How long should you meditate? As long as you like. I find that 15 minutes twice a day has remarkable benefits. During the day I feel more at ease. It takes a lot to get me angry. I worry much less, especially about trivia. I think more clearly and find solutions to problems more easily. The results of meditation seem magical, but there's no magic involved. When you get deeply into meditating, you will rediscover the person you've always been, the one without all the baggage of responsibilities, life roles, grievances, disappointments, fears.

Neuroscientists and the Dalai Lama Swap Insights on Meditation Scientific American - July 30, 2013
Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it. What passed between these representatives of two distinct intellectual modes of thinking about the world were facts, data - knowledge. That is, knowledge about the more than two-millennia-old Eastern tradition of investigating the mind from the inside, from an interior, subjective point of view, and the much more recent insights provided by empirical Western ways to probe the brain and its behavior using a third-person, reductionist framework. What the former brings to the table are scores of meditation techniques to develop mindfulness, concentration, insight, serenity, wisdom and, it is hoped, in the end, enlightenment. These revolve around a daily practice of quiet yet alert sitting and letting the mind settle before embarking on a specific program, such as focused attention or the objectless practice of generating a state of unconditional loving-kindness and compassion. After years of daily contemplative exercise - nothing comes easily in meditation - practitioners can achieve considerable control over their mind.
